How many people carry a 9mm as their main CCW gun? People seem to think 9mm is the most popular, but I meet more and more people that carry different calibers. Revolvers, smaller calibers, and larger calibers are carried a lot. Two instructors I know recommend lower calibers to many and also recommend revolvers for first time shooters. It seems to me the 9mm semi-auto has reached it's peak and has now leveled out.

I mainly carry a glock 27 .40 cal but ill carry my glock 19 9mm a lot too. More rounds = more chances and easy to control....
 
I switch off between my SA XDs .45 and my Sig P938 9mm. Just depends on my mood. I have compete confidence in either pistol and the stopping power of either caliber.
 
Based on what I sell the most of for cc, I would have to say yes, 9mm is by far the most popular.
 
Either a Shield in 9mm or a .357 revolver, depending on what I'm wearing. The Shield conceals more easily, so usually that one.

Just let us know when your buzz levels out and you return to reality, although to be honest, I've never seen any evidence that you've ever visited Reality.

Howdy,

EDC is a Glock 23 .40S&W. Truck gun is a Taurus PT845 .45acp.

The only person that I know personally that carries/carried a 9mm switch to a .40S&W after using his 9mm, a Ruger P89, in a self defense shooting when his was carjacked.

9mm ammo was and is cheaper still. So I think that plays into it to. I carry a 9 every day. My business partner carries a 1911, he always tells me how much more ammo cost. even when we go to the range once a week we compare cost, his reloads, that he does himself cost as much as my reloads I buy.

Can't help but be curious... what was his reason for switching?
 
.40 ACP or even more often, .45ACP is what I carry. But that doesn't mean I don't have 9mm also.

Depending on my dress, I EDC a Taurus Ultralite .38Spl snub or a Taurus TCP .380acp... every so often, I may carry something different like my PA-63 9x18Mak but that's rare, that's my truck-gun usually. I always have my NAA .22lr Mini in a pocket as well.
